Well looks like they got all the data they needed now.
@Stu Pidass pelvic workouts?
It hurts that Americans are so dumb. China has satellites in space that watch America all day.
@casper191985 Yes but some communications/transmissions are better received in the atmosphere instead of outside of it.
@Stu Pidass LMAO
China was just checking on all the property they’ve bought in the US
expect more events like these
@B- Bitter how many patents did Ivanka receive from China after her father became president? I also believe that DT paid more in taxes to China than he ever did in the US. Trump is way more cozy with China than Biden.
@Mark I’ve been living here a little over a year but I was born and raised in my beautiful country USA! I’m here bc I love it, and for business reasons but home is America and I will still continue to fight to make it better ✊🏼🇺🇸 I’ll never stop.
@Sergic Alcantara So you are saying you disagree with Biden’s open border policy, and that American citizens taxpayer money should NOT be going to people that cross our border illegally?
@Sergic Alcantara Then again, you aren’t paying taxes in the US, so why should you care
@Douglas Reagan no you didn’t. My point is it’s not really a big deal that it’s here. No need to get personal. ADHD, yes. And it sucks bc I have to work hard to accomplish things. Back to the balloon, check out Beau of the Fifth’s take on it.
Who remembers Balloon Boy in the early 2010s?
I still like bubble boy from Seinfeld.
Who remembers that time Japan send balloon bombs over here and delayed the work we were doing to create the first nuclear bomb??
@Jensen Acklese I remember hearing about it but I wasn’t alive when it was the news of the day.
It’s Joe Dirt!

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.” Matthew 5:38-39
“And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:5-6.
It made it to Montana without being detected. Maybe a test run to see if they can drop nuclear warheads as a first strike on our ballistic missiles.
Wrong. Nobody is stupid enough to try to blow anyone up with a nuke. It’s suicide and homicide on the highest level. There’s enough intelligent people around leaders like Putin , from trying such an ignorant stunt. 🙄 He wants to thrive not die. BTW, there is no such thing as God. I educated myself at 51 and now I’m blown away at how gullible and ignorant I was and still have a lot to learn. Try it.
balloon. detected it long before it reached Montana and were in touch with the US about it, so there were others that didn’t believe that shooting first and asking questions later was a good idea.
@Mary Ann Gaytan Are you mentally unstable?
@Victor Higgins So, you’re saying a nuclear war is an impossibility? It can never happen? If it does, someone has to push the button first.
@soylentdean I’m saying there is zero intelligence the Chinese could get from that balloon they couldn’t get from satellites.
I’m saying the idea they would use a balloon to deliver a nuke is Wiley Coyote level ridiculous
We should send Winnie the Pooh one of our own balloons. Let’s see how he likes it.
I guess that satellite was jammed by electronic warfare and the US Air Force is waiting to shoot it down over the ocean and take it back intact, because it’s dangerous to shoot it down on the ground, debris will fall on people’s heads or damage infrastructure, while waiting for the results… 🇺🇸👍
Clearly a distraction for something bigger
Oh …CLEARLY. Gmab.
what did
We definitely need to recover it one way or another.
Repent. Have faith in Jesus Christ. John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Matthew 4:17 KJV From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
John 3:3 KJV – “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
@Shaun Kellison Why do you insist on confirming that you don’t know what you’re talking about? Am I going to have to do you a favor and mute you before you hurt yourself? You’re displaying an awful lot of the signs of being a MAGA. Your pathetic attempt at gaslighting is totally ineffectual, though vaguely annoying… not for long though.
I was in Hong Kong for R&R once, in 1974, but never China — since Hong Kong was still a Crown Colony of the British Empire. It must be really frustrating to be MAGA and never be able to marshal facts for a rational argument. Poor dears, always having to come up with fresh ad hominem instead of logic.
Well – Now that the Balloon has been shot down above Myrtle Beach, shows – They intended
Debris near Ocean for best recovery of its Gadgets. Prior to that, U.S. had Jammed all
its Communications since it entered U.S. Air-Space. Interesting that for seconds, all Cell phone calls
around Myrtle Beach stopped working for few seconds, just as the Missile outta nowhere, hit,
once the Fighter Jets encircling it – had left the balloon’s immediate vicinity. Seems All Einsteins’ in
past couple days, have been Sofa Warriors from the Pentagon’s Elite, Special X-box Unit.
TOLD YOU GUYS
@Gordon Calhoun you sound completely unhinged LMAO… you didn’t attack my ideas, you attacked me personally. Like some weird Chinese dude
so the most advanced country on earth can’t catch a ballon and contain it?
Not when the president is in the back pocket of the nation that sent it.
Could be an experiment on how to send a disease like covid to other countries they say the balloon is the size of 3 buses that very big
Laws of physics genius
They are trying on skirts.
that is exactly right. Not only that, but the govt wants us to believe that the debris is a threat over MONTANA. The Biden administration is loving how people are getting distracted by this made up story
Weather patterns are important when estimating nuclear yield, and fallout disbursement patterns. It’s has been predicted that China would use a low altitude, and ow yield nuke for the sake of its EMP effects on our communications, and infrastructure. This balloon is absolutely a threat to our country.
@Krusty Because they know people are stupid and forget we’re already being monitored 24/7 without balloons?
But it does seem an awful lot like more stuff to force him out on schedule.
@Joel Alexander how do you figure
You can’t carry a nuke with a balloon like that
@mobilizing trunalimunumaprzure do you have a desperate need to deny the reality of the holocaust? That’s the only reason you’d mention “Germany” and free speech.
America is terrible for free speech and the Right, is ALWAYS pushing to silence people. Look at them now, trying to deny their history and silence anyone who isn’t a straight white male.
America is through . It’s just time to get the hell off this sinking ship, more and more Americans are leaving everyday. You won’t hear about it in the media because that would reflect badly on the country and the media and it’s politicians want only to flatter the ego of fat, mentally lazy “centrists “and their political cousins, the conservatives. I’ve 4 friends who left the country for Mexico and they don’t want to come back, they have better access to healthcare there than in the States! Unbelievable. If I have 4 friends who left imagine how many more are leaving.
America is right now experiencing a brain and talent drain and you don’t even know it. You’re falling like Rome fell, slowly for a while then suddenly .
time to take your meds little billy
Over Montana Wednesday evening, then over North Carolina Saturday morning, is not exactly “hovering.”
Yup, just riding that Jet Stream..next stop Bermuda
A civilian research balloon would have radar reflectors, and a transponder. The researchers would also make publications and announcements about the progress to minimize the disruption it could cause.
@geneticepistomology NOAA
We need to find a way how to not blow this motherfucker up. I’m getting real post apocalyptic zombie prequel vibes right about that.
That would be dope if we found a way to change the trajectory right over China then blow the motherfucker up
@fallen alpha damn 😮😂

I didn’t think that there was a civilian anything in china, everything is controlled by the government.
What the heck! Just pop that thing and see if the parts were ordered off of wish. Not buying the “risk of debris” for a second, alternative motives going on that they are not telling us about.
Yep, ridiculous tale the “risk of debris”. More likely the risk is “we don’t know what the hell this thing can do if we try to shot it down”.
@S Riddle Balloon anthrax! Monkey pox…
Literally over Montana.. one of the least populated states in the country… miles of nothing… wasted opportunity.
@kschottman Exactly….
ALSO! Didn’t we see this way before it even reached land… like over the pacific?? It should of never even reached us.
Ask yourself, ” what could the system be trying to distract me from with this balloon?”
@Antonio Gramsci cope
@Antonio Gramsci Well, maybe. I guess time will tell. Please tell me you are vaccinated and fully boosted.
Banks are going to crash
cope
Not gonna ask myself, because the notion is idiotic.
If a couple of drunk kayakers can pluck baseballs from the water outside the Giants’ Oracle Park, then surely the US Coastguard can retrieve a balloon off the N. Carolina coast.
There won’t be anything to recover. Do you think the Chinese are really stupid? We know that it is a spy balloon, we have been intercepting and analyzing signals intelligence on it for over a month. The Chinese would have built in a self destruct mechanism in it to destroy any sensitive equipment that could be of value. I mean, come on, that is what we do!
finally here is the full short !!
https://youtu.be/qfw4YI_u8d4
I can’t believe they are allowing it to fly across the whole country…
@Jeremy DeCaro what a silly story.
Grow up kid
@Def Creator Don’t take the mark that will be required of everyone in the world to take in order to buy or sell anything including food. And when millions disappear they will probably say it’s a mass alien abduction when it’s actually the rapture. Aliens = fallen angels/demons. Revelation 14:11 KJV And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Awwwwwww, c’mon maaaaan ! NORAD were looking as fast as they were able !!!
@Jeremy DeCaro your fantasy is funny but not a reality
@Luv1234 Well, as you can see it’s “been taken care of” now so the CCP has failed once again.
Why is it being allowed to capture/transmit its data? I’m guessing they’re concerned it might have a self destruct feature, or some other defensive capabilities. Regardless, hard to believe the best option is to do nothing.
because they have satalites that are capturing that data anyway. so its meaningless.
@Scorch429 I understand that, but it’s in violation of our air space. What would China do, if the situation were reversed? Personally, I think we should capture it, definitely not blow it up. Another option might be to put a single hole in the balloon, hopefully it would be sturdy enough to not pop, but slowly deflate.
Seems like it picked up speed since being noticed. It was launched in December, so they say. Might wanna retrieve it as soon as its in waters
Did you just hear yourself? “So they say”…
If your government takes so long to respond to a balloon, imagine an airstrike ?
You had to take down over LESS POPULATION of people.if it was left up to don con he would have to ask Putin if he could shoot it down
@Shaun Schneeberger Imagine small glass tubes that would never make it to the ground from 60,000 feet, even in a ridiculous sci-fi movie, to reality. Gee whiz.
@P.Y Gaming The U.S. military shot the balloon down over the Atlantic just off the coast of North Carolina. Ships are heading to the scene to retrieve the debris.
Has anybody checked “the Big Guy’s” bank account?
@A sure I do. It means spouting a pack of lies but people accept it as true because it’s ‘experts’ or some kind of official report. We are well trained.
It was not spotted for the first time over Montana, it was spotted for the first time late in January over the Aleutian Islands.
@dave h they didn’t have eyes on it but Joes partner Xi kept him informed.
Naturally it floats over Charlotte 🤦♀️

@Sander Curtis biden waited till they got what they needed before shooting it lmao wonder how much money china will funnel to him for this
Sander Curtis – Yes, After Biden and his Pentagon cronies first allowed communist China to collect all the data they wanted as it traveled across the whole country. It should have been shot down when they first knew it was coming over the Canadian US border.
The question is what’s really going on while we watch a balloon aimlessly float in the winds.
Exactly….and they’ll lie about what’s in it too
The narrative wants us to embrace war. Period.Ooooh Russia is evil,China is evil,everyone wants to destroy us.And on and on.The enemy is here,it’s some of us.There is a portion of Americans who embrace hatred and bigotry.They want absolute rule and an end to Democracy.
Makes a perfect distraction if Kim Jong Un and his psycho sister wanna launch a nuke at Seattle. He will blame Beijing for everything. Sociopath.
